Mensday: Which day is your man?

1960s, Andrei Punsuh, Foale and Tuffin, I was Lord Kitchener's Valet, jean varon, Mensday, menswear, petticoat magazine

Shame on me, I clean forgot about Mensday. But I’m going to make amends (ahaha) for this today. Yes, yes, I know it’s Friday. But it’s also my boyfriend’s birthday and so Mensday is rescheduled in his honour.

I’m also geeking out because look up there ^ – it’s the Annacat blouse I’ve just listed for sale over at Vintage-a-Peel. I only just noticed!

    He shares a birthday with Yoko Ono and Meredith Ostrom?! That's just weird. As if it isn't weird enough that those two ladies share a birthday, LOL!Friday's man made me relive the nightmare of walking round Leeds with a bloke in a pink suit. *shivers* I'm usually all for individual dressing, but that was a traumatic teenage experiance for me. (no, the bloke wasn't wearing make-up, he was trying to be Paul McCartney from the Mad Day Out pictures… apparently)

    A blast from the past! Rather belated reply but I was just googling Andrei. I assisted him in 1972 in his South Kensington studio. He was best known for his painterly effects in his fashion and advertising photographs. Very glamorous for a budding photographer at the time, art directors and models in and out of the studio, plus I was in a flat share that included the bass player of pre-fame Queen. We also photographed Cosmopolitan editor Helen Gurley Brown doing yoga in a Knightsbridge hotel. It was unusual for ‘girls’ to be taken on as assistants, and I was expected to lug the heavy lighting equipment up and down the rickety stairs of his studio just like a boy. Thanks for the memory!
